Iris ConstitutionsPresented by Anthony FloresThe Three Major Iris Constitutional Types Based on Color1. The blue lymphatic constitution

2. The mix biliary constitution

3. The brown hematogenic constitution

The Blue Lymphatic Constitution Iris Characteristics: This is a blue, blue-gray, or blue-green iris, often with a white collarette. With tightly or loose fibers with many lacunae. Pigments of various colors may be be present with this iris constitution. Potential Tendencies:

• Eliminate all heated oils and deep-fried foods. Eliminate animal fats and hydrogenated oils. Use good fats such as cold pressed flax, pumpkin seed, borage and olive oils. • Eliminate refined white sugar and even honey, maple syrup, and fruit if blood sugar is out of balance. Do not use artificial sweeteners! Use stevia instead.The Hematogenic Iris ConstitutionIris Characteristics:

A dark brown iris with a densely pigmented anterior border layer (upper layer of iris most visible) with little or no fibrous display. Microscopic examination will disclose lacunae with underlying fibers in certain sectors reflecting organ insufficiencies. Areas of irritation will appear lighter. Brown pigment in the sclera is normal in this type, especially around the iris edge. However if the pigment is dark and far from the iris edge, it has been suggested that this indicates possible liver congestion.

Extremely white fibers, white blue, or according to Kriege, “steel gray”Potential Tendencies:• Acute, exudative conditions• Tendency to have fevers, especially as a child• Tendency for arthritis• Tendency for respiratory infections• Consider all of the characteristics of the lymphatic constitution

Health suggestions for/ Febrile Sub-type• Drink lots of water.• Eliminate acidic foods as described under over-acid subtype.Iris Characteristics: Blue or blue gray iris with small, white to off-white flocculations in the outer zone parallel to the iris edge. These are called tophi and commonly appear in the areas of the lungs, breast, neck, groin, diaphragm, head, and nasal areas which are specific areas of possible lymph congestion. Tophi may also appear around the collarette. When tophi are yellow or brown/yellow in color, this may indicate chronic congestion. Uric Acid Diathesis/Whitish Plaques in Ciliary ZoneIris Characteristics: Thick white, yellowish white, or grayish white plaques interspersed around the mid-zone (ciliary zone) of the iris. Seen in blue and blue/gray eyes.

• Eliminate all red meat and pork from the diet.• Salt or intake of any inorganic minerals (minerals not from plants) should be avoided.Scurf Rim SubtypeIris Characteristics:

Dark distinct ring in the outer ciliary zone just inside the iris edge

Potential Tendencies:• Suppressed skin elimination• Skin disorders such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema• Kidneys over-stressed• Tendency for poor circulation and cold hands and feet• Consider all of the characteristics of the lymphatic constitution

• Avoid all mucus-forming foods, such as wheat, pasteurized cow's milk, and sugar.

• Follow all suggestions for the Lymphatic type.

Hematogenic Sub-type:Hydrogenoid SubtypePotential Tendencies:

• Lymphatic congestion throughout the body or in certain areas• Tendency to retain fluids• Weak digestion; difficulty to break down proteins• Rheumatoid arthritis may be in family history• Overactive immune system, may have allergies to certain foods, dusts, pollens.• Consider all of the characteristics of the lymphatic constitution

Health suggestions for/Hydrogenoid Sub-type• Drink lots of water. • Skin brushing is important. • Follow all suggestions for the Lymphatic Type.Thank youIris Characteristics: Brownish colored flocculations called tophi in the periphery of the iris. Dark coloration of tophi in a biliary iris does not necessarily depict chronicity as it might in a blue iris There is no Subtype based on colorfor the hematogenic type
